Dr Jack Turban, child and adolescent psychiatry fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine, joins the GenderGP podcast for an episode exploring the notion of detransition.
Together Jack, Helen and Marianne discuss the notion that a person’s gender expression and gender identity can change throughout their life. They acknowledge the use of detransition as an argument against affirming transgender people, and the damage that this does, as well as covering how we need to broaden our understanding of what detransition really means, what is driving it and how we can work to support someone through the process.

Exploring Detransition with Dr Jack Turban
Hello
I was very interested in the figures for ‘detransitioners’ which Dr Jake discussed. All of a sudden, this topic is being suggested to me by YouTube and it is not just once or twice. If there is a scientific paper or report on this I would be very interested to read it.
If you have a reference, I would be grateful if you could point me in its direction?
Many thanks in advance.
Mélissa
I‘m interested in the figures of „detransitioners“. If you have a reference, I would be grateful if you could share this.
Thx, Antje
Got a transcript anywhere?
@Antje, Mélissa, for info on detransitioners, see this reference, https://segm.org/typology_of_gender_detransition
Thank you Claire. I will have a look at it.
I am a detransitioned woman and every single person I know who has also detransitioned (there are many of us) has done so out of regret. Medical neglect and a culture of extreme cowardice [especially among authorities & institutions] is contributing to the fast growing population of detransitioners.
No, you’re not, I am a detransitioned woman and every single person I know who has also detransitioned (there are many of us), loathe the likes of you, stop pretending to be one of us to spew anti-trans rhetoric.
This looks to be helpful:

From the reference given in my last email.
In the survey data supplied by the surgeons, 62 instances in approximately 22,765 transitioners expressed regret.
Hello Mélissa, it is tough to get real numbers on detransition because many people who detransition do not report this info back to their original gender clinic . Such cases are called “lost to follow up” (instead of being included in the “detransitioner” count) for example, please See https://www.detransvoices.org/ for examples of detransitioners, some explain why they didn’t follow up.
